An Elden Ring player calling himself Ross Cross discovered an outrageous bug in the "Promised Consort Ladern", the last boss of "Elden Ring: Shadow of the Elder Tree". Upon further investigation, it appears that this tactic is reproducible.

If you summon two phantoms in cooperative play against Leda and defeat Leda without anyone dying, the Promised Consort Ladern will die before reaching the bonfire." Batshit CRAZY Promised Consort Radahn skip," the player said with a short video.

"I've tried to reproduce this bug and it seems to be consistent.

The linked video shows Los Ch. Ross and other co-op summons jumping Reda (honestly, it didn't look like he was going to win). After spawning in Enir-Ilim, the player approaches the promised Consort Ladaan, but the god is killed in the middle of the stairs. When Los Crosos reached the entrance to the boss fight, the fog door was nowhere to be found, and all that remained in the boss room was a lost Grace and a few bloodstains.

A strange bug indeed. Especially with the release of the DLC so late, with streamer challenges and one-hit kills against Radahn. in the comments section of the YouTube video, it seems that this bug has been encountered by more players than just Ross Ross. "I've had something similar happen to me." I went in as a phantom and Ladern never jumped off and was invisible." Other players described encountering a similar glitch either on the PC version or during the second stage of the battle, and one player linked to a video of the glitch as it occurred.

After Elden Ring YouTuber Ziostorm posted about the bug, several players theorized that it was caused by a messed up Seamless Co-Op module. However, Ziostorm pointed out that the first video was taken on an Xbox." Another player said, "I've done it twice now and both times it says 'God Slain', gives me a rune, and won't start." After asking if the boss was still there, I messaged the host and they said yes and summoned me back." So, the solution to this may just be to refresh the game or rest by the fire.

Co-op play is a fairly important feature in Eldenring. With this feature, you can play with a friend or summon a local folk hero like Let Me Solo Her (now Let Me Solo Him in the DLC) to fight a boss that is a bit too difficult for one person.

This feature has become very popular and there are even mods that allow for seamless co-op play for the entire game. Normally, you can only summon co-op phantoms for one battle, and they disappear when you die. While this may not be completely in line with the rules set by From Software, the developers are not entirely opposed to the mod and have indicated that they may "consider such an idea in future games."
